A 12x10 negative. A slightly distant port near broadside view, taken from just ahead of the beam, of the passenger/cargo liner Oroya (1886) at moorings in Gravesend Reach, River Thames. She has short funnels but the yards on her foremast have been removed. The bow of the tug Undaunted (1884) is in the right foreground and the tug Eagle (1884), seen from just ahead of her port beam, is at anchor. Tilbury is in the background.
